Translation by Roberto Ascoli ( flourished 1891-1930 )
Rough wind that moanest loud
Language: English
Available translation(s): FRE
Rough wind that moanest loud, Grief too sad for song; Wild wind when sullen cloud Knells all [the]1 night long; Sad storm, whose tears are vain, Bare woods whose branches strain, Deep caves and dreary main, Wail! for the world's wrong.

Canto funebre
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English
Rude vento, che diffondi in suon di pianto Un dolore troppo triste per un canto; Fiero vento che se il ciel di nubi è fosco, Fai suonar di notte a morto le campane; Uragano, le cui lagrime son vane; E tu, cupo dalle nude rame o bosco; O spelonche funerarie, o mar profondo, Voi piangete, voi piangete il mal del mondo.
